    Why in the World Is the Government Disrupting the Distribution of Monoclonal Antibodies Now?

    After demonizing nearly every medication with the potential to reduce the severity of COVID-19 symptoms, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) finally recommended monoclonal antibodies earlier this summer. Before the official recommendation, some providers used them under an emergency use authorization (EUA) granted by the FDA in November 2020. The FDA just granted an EUA to allow their use for SARS-CoV-2 post-exposure and ongoing prophylaxis. This approval will increase demand.

    Recently, the treatment has gotten quite a bit of media coverage. While the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has been promoting the treatment on the Combat Covid website since early summer, one man ensured a nationwide media campaign. Once Florida Governor Ron DeSantis decided to promote outpatient treatment using the antibodies and establish infusion centers, the media reacted because he is a very dangerous Republican.

    During the week leading into the Labor Day holiday, DeSantis was on the road again, touting the success of Florida’s program in disconnecting COVID-19 infection from hospitalization in the state. Patients gave personal testimony about their experience with the treatment. Hospitalizations in the state declined 20% during the first few weeks the infusion centers were up and running. Then something interesting happened.

    On Friday, someone who claimed to be an urgent care specialist tweeted that HHS had informed him that the government would now decide which facilities would receive doses of monoclonal antibodies. Jim Jackson wrote: “So now the government is getting involved in [read: restricting] monoclonal antibody distribution. Before, I could just order as much as we needed, and they shipped it next day air. Now a govt. commission will decide when, if, and how much I will be able to get for my pts [patients]. ‘Should you have any questions regarding this update in ordering and distribution procedures, please email the Federal COVID-19 Response Team.’ Wonderful.”

    He added the alert from HHS that confirmed his assertion. Now, only facilities participating in the HHS Protect program can order the treatment, and the agency will review all orders. Suppose the current distribution map provided by HHSincludes the HHS Protect facilities. In that case, the new order review process seems like a heavy administrative burden for the program. It may delay or limit treatment for at-risk patients.

    Monoclonal antibodies are approved and recommended for outpatient use. HHS instructs patients who qualify to access them within ten days of symptom onset. Regeneron also has FDA approval to be used post-exposure and for prevention. All approved uses are time-dependent and not conducive to a burdensome order review process. The timing of the change in how health providers access them is curious.

    If the supply is genuinely so constrained that the federal government needs to get involved in decisions about distribution, the question should be why. The use of monoclonal antibodies is restricted and only provided for specific at-risk groups. By managing and approving distribution, HHS insulates the manufacturers from actual market demand. Now, some at-risk vaccinated as well as unvaccinated patients require effective treatment, and it is constrained. If new variants emerge and become dominant, that trend may continue.

    To date, therapeutics and repurposed medications to reduce disease severity have been underemphasized and even demonized. Monoclonal antibodies made it through all the noise and President Trump’s endorsement. It is time for the federal response to encourage increased production of monoclonal antibodies, challenge manufacturers to develop formulations against variants of concern, and get them in the hands of practitioners.

    The whole thing gets weirder by the day. There's a Hindu channel on youtube with long interviews with Doctors Kory and Marik promoting Ivermectin. All the usual arguments are made about free speech, corporate influence on governments, biased media, etc. It's very peculiar that those videos haven't been removed while other people have been kicked off youtube. Of course, India is a huge emerging market for companies like Alphabet. In the end it's all about the love of money.

    Personally, I am not overly worried by the vaccines per se. My only scruple about vaccines, and it applies not just to those for COVID, is the use of aborted foetal tissue in their production. That being said, I have accepted the majority moral advice from the Church that this evil is not the responsibilty of the vaccination recipent, but I am still uncomfortable. My family and I have all taken the vaccine. We have had no serious side-effects, nor have we heard anecdotally of anyone having any.

    Still, I would be very suspicious of the pharmaceutical industry, one which can devise a new vaccine at the drop of a hat, but hasn't developed a decent new antibiotic for decades, for example. Obviously, antibiotics are useless for viruses, but there is a huge push on the veterinary side, at least, to promote vaccinal prevention rather than antibiotic treatment. I'm sure that the fact that every animal has to receive an annual shot, rather than merely treating the individual effected animal, has nothing to do with it, of course.

    Brian, aren’t monoclonal antibodies made from frozen fertilized embryos?

    In my very small circle, I know of three people who have ongoing adverse effects. That's not counting the elderly lady who died a couple of days after being vaccinated. As far as I know, that didn't deter any of their relatives taking the vaccine. Nearly everyone I know has been vaccinated and most likely won't hesitate to take the boosters. Some are hesitant about vaccine passports but have no problem flashing their own green card or whatever it's called giving them access to restaurants and pubs.

    It is mind boggling looking at the strange bedfellows on either side of the divide.

    It just seemed relevant. They’re eating their own and even those promoting monoclonal antibodies can’t be trusted. It may be a sign of desperation on their side. No agenda beyond just cataloguing the ongoing nonsense. But pushing the vaccines seems to take priority over pushing grisly and immoral therapies, so keep your eyes on these vaccines. That’s their ultimate objective. Why?

    Israel's coronavirus czar is calling for preparations for a 4th vaccine dose
    Sinéad Baker
    Mon, September 6, 2021, 2:48 AM·1 min read

    • Israel's coronavirus czar suggested that people may need a fourth shot of COVID-19 vaccine.

    • He said the country needs to "prepare" for that, but didn't give a timeline.

    • Israel is currently giving most people third vaccine doses as a booster.

    • See more stories on Insider's business page.
    Israel's coronavirus czar has called for the country to prepare to roll out a fourth coronavirus vaccine dose.

    Salman Zarka told Israel's Kan public radio on Saturday that "given that that the virus is here and will continue to be here, we also need to prepare for a fourth injection," The Times of Israel reported.

    Zarka did not outline a timeline for when those vaccines could be given.

    Israel is already rolling out a vaccine booster shot to most people, which would be their third dose.

    The country's health minister last week granted access to a third shot to everyone over the age of 12 who had received their second shot at least five months earlier.

    Zarka said on Saturday that the booster could be modified to better target variants of the virus.

    He told The Times of Israel in August that people could need to get a shot "every few months - it could be once a year or five or six months."

    Harvard epidemiologist says the case for COVID vaccine passports was just demolished


    https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/h...-covid-vaccine-passports-was-just-demolished/

    Harvard Medical School professor Martin Kulldorff said research showing that natural immunity offers exponentially more protection than vaccines means vaccine passports are both unscientific and discriminatory, since they disproportionately affect working class individuals.
    Prior COVID disease (many working class) provides better immunity than vaccines (many professionals), so vaccine mandates are not only scientific nonsense, they are also discriminatory and unethical,” Kulldorff, a biostatistician and epidemiologist, observed on Twitter.

    Moreover, CDC research shows that vaccinated individuals still get infected with COVID-19 and carry just as much of the virus in their throat and nasal passage as unvaccinated individuals

    “High viral loads suggest an increased risk of transmission and raised concern that, unlike with other variants, vaccinated people infected with Delta can transmit the virus,” CDC Rochelle Director Walensky noted following a Cape Cod outbreak that included mostly vaccinated individuals.
